“There is a behemoth enemy out there that hates everything conservative and WE have to jump through hoops for an even chance at using all kinds of platforms.”
This is all regulated by only the platform it’s self. It creates the App and controls what phone versions and Browser versions can access it’s site/business.
There is no one else that can prevent these from being set up to accept any and all phones and browsers.
This is a decision made by the domain/platform it’s self. They more than likely made a deal with Apple to make the App proprietary to just Apple. It is a common extortion business tactic to force customers to buy an apple phone to use their platform.
It just bothers me that so many in this country allow businesses to manipulate them this way. If we stopped accepting this tactic they would stop doing it. More just need to refuse to use the product/service until they change it to facilitate the customer.
I am a developer, and with just a few lines of code I could make that app compatible with any and all phone versions and browser versions. This is pure greedy manipulation coming from this domain. And the app could be served up and downloaded from the website it’s self, no need for the Apple or Google app stores at all.
Just bypass their 3rd party control with no problem at all... And no one can prevent it.
So see, I do know what I am talking about. The OP should not be having to jump through hoops like this to go join this platform. The platform should instead be facilitating the OP as a potential new customer.
you’re wrong.
I guess you don’t know as much as you think you do. Go to the https://publicsq.com/ website and there is a link to both the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.
The OP most likely has an out-of-date OS.
As a developer, you should know that OSs are constantly being patched for security issues, which is especially important for apps that deal with commerce.
